Olivia (Summer)

Profile: Olivia is a dancer who travels across the continent in a theater troupe. In the past, during one of Olivia's performances, a nobleman was smitten by her and plotted to kidnap and marry her. However, Basilio stepped in and prevented this, and Olivia has been grateful to him ever since.

Olivia was called by Basilio to The Midmire shortly after the rescue of Emmeryn in Plegia failed. Amidst the pouring rain, she encountered the Plegian General Mustafa. Though he discovered that Olivia was there to lead Chrom and his forces away, Mustafa chose to let her pass without issue. Olivia waits for Chrom and his forces with carriages to safely transport them back to Ferox shortly after Mustafa is slain. Back in Ferox, Chrom resolves himself to continue to fight on and end the Mad King Gangrel once and for all. To ensure victory, Olivia volunteers her services by dancing for them. While Chrom has his reservations, Basilio assures him that her Dance can raise the spirits of his allies. Grateful for any edge during the war, Chrom happily accepts her into his ranks for his final battle against Gangrel as well as the future conflicts within Awakening.

If Chrom decides to marry Olivia at the end of the Chapter 11, she becomes his wife during the two years between Chapter 11 and Chapter 12, thus making her the queen of Ylisse. During those two years, she will give birth to a daughter named Lucina. At the end of Chapter 13, Olivia will be weeping as Chrom talks to "Marth". After the two talk, "Marth" draws Olivia's attention to the Brand on her left eye, revealing that she is the future version of her daughter, Lucina. After revealing the purpose of her return and the ruinous future to potentially come, Olivia and Lucina share a warm embrace, happy to be reunited across time.

After the war, if she is unmarried, Olivia's stage fright never faded, but her dances, accompanied by her shy blush, became legendary as she traveled throughout the world.

[Paralogue] In the future, Olivia can become a mother if she achieves an S-Support with one of her allies, resulting in her giving birth to a son, Inigo. As mentioned above, she can marry Chrom, making her the mother of Lucina. If she supports Robin instead, she becomes the mother of Morgan. Otherwise, Inigo is an only child.

In Paralogue 6, Olivia joins the Shepherds when they go to help quell some bandits terrorizing a few villages near the Great Gate. Upon arrival, Olivia comes into contact with a young boy who had been helping to fight off the bandits. The boy, Inigo, is surprised by her sudden appearance, which equally surprises her. Though the boy brushes her off, Olivia notices that Inigo seems to be just as shy as she, making it easier for her to talk to him. After the battle, Inigo approaches her again and calls her by name, even though Olivia does not remember ever telling him her name. Though Inigo has a hard time explaining it to her, after showing her the ring on his hand, Olivia realizes that Inigo is her future son. After slipping a comment that he is aspiring to be a dancer, Olivia shows great interest in his skills, but he is too embarrassed to show her. Likewise, Olivia is too embarrassed to show him her dancing, but nevertheless, is happy to meet her future son.

According to Inigo, since he had a similar shy disposition to hers, Olivia's future counterpart encouraged him to speak to girls to build confidence. He also wanted to learn to dance like her, and she trained him in the art. Despite the raging battles against the Risen, Olivia found time to teach him various dances. She had started to teach Inigo her favorite dance, but was only able to teach him half of it before she died protecting him.

Personality: A shrinking violet at heart, Olivia's shy, demure, and withdrawn nature contradicts her otherwise incredible dancing. She struggles with stage fright when interacting with others and sometimes disengages from conversations when feeling overwhelmed. She is easily frightened, startled, and intimidated even by her own allies and is highly embarrassed when put into the spotlight or having attention drawn to her, even for a completely mundane reason. In a vast majority of her conversations, she also tends to downplay her talents, stating that she is only good at dancing in her recruitment conversation. At the same time, she immediately adds that she feels it is inadequate.

Contrary to her own extreme downplay, Olivia is, in fact, a talented dancer who is highly revered throughout the realm as a genius in dancing. She has countless fans who have gathered for her performances and has been described by Basilio as the "finest dancer in all the realms." When dancing, Olivia becomes so absorbed in her performance that she is mesmerizing to watch, as stated by numerous of her support partners. While dancing is her main passion, she has an appreciation of all performing arts, such as singing, for which she also happens to be the best singer in the army. Olivia's biggest dream is to open her own theater so people can perform, including herself. To this end, she has delegated part of her war funds towards this goal.

Despite Olivia's shy and socially awkward demeanor, she is actually comfortable around the more crude and loud members of the army. This is made most obvious by her close relationship with Basilio, and her supports with Chrom where they discuss how she met the former. Although painfully shy, Olivia is open about her feelings most of the time, quick to explain herself in any situation or ask for assurance that her actions did not appear to be strange. She can overcome her anxiety to speak frankly when pushed too far or when it comes to her work; she does not, however, find it as easy to discuss more personal thoughts and feelings. Olivia can find the strength to fight for herself, especially when it comes to protecting those she cares about. She will do her best to face her fears and help people, no matter how embarrassed she may feel. Above all else, Olivia wishes to make people smile.

While she is embarrassed by compliments and kind words, Olivia is openly affectionate and caring towards her husband, if married. As a mother, she fostered Inigo's desire to become a dancer himself and has been stated by him to be a kind, guiding instructor. In his youth, Inigo was almost the spitting image of Olivia personality wise and her future self's advice to her young son was to talk to girls to bolster his confidence, resulting in his flirtatious behavior. Olivia was left bewildered by her future self's advice. For all of her self-loathing of her own capabilities, she cannot help but heap praise onto her son and has gone to great lengths to spy on him when he tried to hide himself while practicing. When she finally caught him practicing by sheer happenstance, she immediately commended him and proceeded to give him pointers. She promised to be there for her son and to teach him the remaining section of her favorite dance that her future self was never able to.
